This fucker didn't play the game and VB should retract the review.
Fuck that noise.
I had to quote this for more people to see, wow.
Wait, where are the crowds? Oh...there they are.
The xbone may have cloud streaming technology, but crowd streaming tech is Sony exclusive.
HA HA HA HA!!! Oh sh*t. That one got me good... wow...

The reviews on GT6 are pretty good - current Metacritic is 80. Forza 5 received a Metacritic of 81, which is a statistical tie.
Given that GT6 is on last gen HW, that's a very good result. We can stop complaining about the reviews and enjoy GT6 while anticipating GT7 on the PS4.

What I'd like to see in the next one is more effort on textures and graphics on some of the tracks... Grand Valley had some really awful graphics. The tree's and rock textures look like they're from the PS2 gen and that isn't even being hyperbolic. I've not really seen any other tracks quite as bad as that so far though I've only just started playing it.
Apart from that I'm having fun though.

And again
If no effort or time to rewrite how the engine needs to interact with the hardware was required, there wouldn't be any reason for the PS4 not to play most PS3 games. Especially those multiplatform ports you mentioned.
Back to GT6, I am having fun but it also seems relatively easy to me. Breezing past most events. I wonder if that changes end game.
Noticed the same. I'm assuming it'll get more difficult in the later classes though.

I'm loving the game and the way the cars handle now. The new UI feels snappy as well. I did notice the jaggies and some pop-in, but overall I think the game is an improvement over GT5.
I'm going to wait for the XL or whatever they call the version bundled with the DLC. At this point, the XL edition might be on the PS4 (unless we see GT7 sooner than expected).
My backlog is just too big and I'm currently playing GT5 (I'm almost done with the campaign, but I have yet to unlock the dreaded endurance races which is the ultimate grind lol ).

So what's going on exactly? Did this lady (Stefanie Fogel) even play the game?
She might have missed that. There's been a lot of incidents where I'm lost as to how to do something in a game or don't know what something means even though it might have been explained to me briefly at some point. The human brain isn't perfect.
But anyways, you guys really gotta just let that review go. If you don't like it, then don't worry about it. It doesn't affect your life. Just relax and move on. lol

Eh? No. We're talking about a PS3 game. FYI, GT5 XL edition came out 1 year and 2-3 months after GT5.
And GT7 on PS4 won't come out before christmas 2015. I don't know how long you're willing to wait.

Cannot believe she's not getting called out on her pathetic review.
That's literally impossible. The entire game halts and you have to press X to dismiss the tip.

If i remember right ND is using there PS3 engine on PS4 so i expect the same for PD since they upgrade it for GT6.

Bullshit. Stop making excuses. Thats right at the start of the game, during its tutorial and you have to press x to continue through each message box. Theres nothing even going on in the background either. If she did miss it would be due to her impatience and so here lack of knowledge is not the games fault but entirely her own.

Honestly? Does it matter? She still fucked up.
Names Jonathan Leack and he writes for CraveOnline.com.
Starting to understand why he didn't want to mention who he writes for on here lol. Some choice quotes from his Twitter…

Unsurprisingly his Twitter is full of mainly Xbox One caressing and PS4 criticising. What did surprise me however is the multiple snipes at GAF and "Sony fans" in general. I suppose there's irony in that though.

Just like a magician getting caught red handed.
This is way off topic, but you called me out so I'm going to reply.
I'm a HUGE fan of PlayStation and Gran Turismo. I've owned every GT but GT4, and have played them all for hundreds of hours.
Remember how GT5 received mixed reception? Psh. I loved it. Here's my garage:
I am level 30 in Spec A and 24 in Spec B. I've been playing it since it came out, even if just to do time laps on Nurburgring in my favorite cars (including a car I own IRL).
I'm disappointed by Gran Turismo 6. Is that too much? I'm sharing my opinion like the rest of you guys here. Try out Forza 5 and you'll see some of the mechanics they have would make Gran Turismo a better series. And really, it works reciprically. Forza could use some of Gran Turismo's flavor, too.
It's not that you're admitting defeat by saying the game could be better, you're wanting a better product in the future. In my opinion, Forza is much more modern than Gran Turismo, and that's why you see a lot of reviewers giving both a similar score despite Forza being "light on content", while Gran Turismo 6 has mountains of content.
For the record, I'm first and foremost a PC/PlayStation gamer. Hell, I am level 14 on PSN and don't have a very high gamerscore because I've been focused on PC/PlayStation content for work/hobby purposes since a decade ago. You're calling me a fanboy just because my opinion is different than yours. That's incredibly unfair.
I never directly called you one, just called you out on bias. Not because of your opinion of GT6 either, but because of countless posts of yours on and off NeoGAF, that are nothing but exemplary of that description. As I highlighted in the post you quoted, and from the Twitter posts above, or your entire Twitter account in general. There's a very obvious and one sided slant, and it does not take your opinion of GT6 or F5 to see that. Far from the contrary. Everyone has preferences, that's natural. Just strange to see it so glaringly in a 'professional' journalist.
But anyway, OT I suppose.
They're all from the current retail version GT6. Those visual issues fairly prominent, but don't let it scare you off. A lot of the time, aside from some framerate/tearing issues, this game looks great. Especially running on hardware as old as it is.

Total speculation, but I think grounded enough that it might explain some:
The PS3 has some challenges balancing how memory segments get passed around (because of the split memory banks).The framebuffer for things like smoke/dust/water-spray has been increased (massive improvement), which may have given them less leg-room elsewhere. That could mean fewer passes for AA, or it could mean they "squished" down their vertical resolution more than it was before.
Aside from GT5 Prologue (possibly there too, I'm not sure), I don't think the modern GT games have ever actually run in native 1080p; it's always been the proper horizontal resolution, but roughly half vertical resolution. In most cases with their AA solutions in the past, this let them have relatively crisp image quality with a better framerate than they'd normally be able to manage. I think they needed to balance out from one area to the other to manage what they did. I'm gonna be following their patchnotes moving forward, because I'd bet there's a lot of changes they can make track-to-track to improve both aspects over time. The problems we're seeing with performance are more or less prominent depending on the track.
Corrections on anything here would be appreciated, but I think it's just a case of shifting resources to squeeze out more.

That garage is ok but not so much to boast about, you don't have not one of the magnificent 1960's Le Mans race cars. Don't really blame you though, they're 20,000,000 each[though one of them can be won in an event].
Detective GAF is the best at exposing people for what they really are. Hopefully a mod will come across this guy accusing them of being corrupt.

Hello, Jonathan.
That's a realistic speculation. Thanks.

Game Informer has gotten their review up:
Game Informer - 8/10
Game Informer - 8/10
GT5 did a similar thing; it went down to the early 80s but eventually came up to the mid-80s overall. Not too surprising it came up a little to be honest.
God damn. Detective-GAF is best GAF.
That review seems off so far:
I sold a car from my garage a minute ago...you can't sell it while you're driving it so I wonder if that's where the mistake came from.
Also
Hell yes. Rewind mechanics are one of the worst "casual" additions to racing games ever.

Is it your severe fanboyism that compels such obvious and transparent lies?
There have been tons of dumping on the game because of screen tearing, dropped frame rates, pop-in etc.
Go ahead, I call your bluff, check my post history if I said even one single thing about it.
Likewise there has been all sorts of trashing on the game's audio. I did not say one single thing about that either.
And that's what you call "dumping as much as he could". Try to improve your reading comprehension, try to be less of a fanboy and your credibility may begin to climb itself out from the sewer.
I just said the series needs to evolve, which I think it will with GT7. I'm not reviewing the game, either.
That said, GT6 is an awesome racing game. I'm finding night races and looking at cars in the shop to be a treat.
I know. It's even worse
Did you see the post with all your tweets........?

What are you talking about regarding reviews? Forza 5 has almost the exact same reviews as GT6, 81 vs. 80. How does that make GT6 lukewarm versus forza? Forza 5 is also the least well received iteration of the main series by a wide margin. If your personal opinion is that Forza 5 is a giant leap forward, sure you're entitled to it. Just don't try to cite general consensus of reviews to back up your case when they don't.
that slay!

No reason at all to believe GT7 for PS4 development will go faster than GT5, is there?

Yes. They don't have to build a new engine for starters. Kaz said best case scenario is that it'll be out next year. If not the it'll be 2015.
